I haven't posted for a while. For those of you like me and Colindo who regularly eat the Japanese fermented soyabean called natto this is some of the latest research into natto (the food NOT nattokinase!). Looks like Scientists are now taking natto seriously with the amount of new research. Natto is high in Polyamines like Spermidine and Spermine so looks like they are trying to increaseby Dean - GENERAL HEALTH FORUM
Hi Erling, My beloved natto food that I had eaten for six and a half years not only has the highest concentration of pyrroloquinoline quinone (PQQ) that is implicated in the process of mitochondrial maintenance according to your post from Dr Graveline about statins: but also the bacillus subtilis that ferments the natto food also produce significant amounts of D-Ribose as well (see below)by Dean - AFIBBERS FORUM
Hi Hans, Sorry for the long delay in answering your questions but my life is chaotic at the moment with work issues, preparing to sell my house, buy house and move up the coast for a sea change into semi retirement. You asked the following questions re candida: I am most interested in your statement that Bacillus Subtilis eats the candida fungus. As you know candidiasis is a huge and growinby Dean - AFIBBERS FORUM
Robert, You will find this interesting re "missing exposure to soil microganisms" that Tish posted above: I myself eat Bacillus Subtilis in the form of natto food. 50gm no less than 5 times a week. That coupled with daily PPI for reflux has kept me afib free and almost pac/pvc free for 4yrs and 8 months. That's all I have done - no expensive supplements, no special diet, no heby Dean - AFIBBERS FORUM
Lee, I don't know if your doctors will do it but when you have your 24hr pH test see if you can have a holter monitor at the same time over the same period. You should then have absolute proof your GERD triggers ectopics and LAF. The graph of the pH test will peak and match the arrythmia shown on the holter. I found probiotics to be basically useless expensive rubbish (hope Jackie doesnby Dean - AFIBBERS FORUM
Many thanks for your reply! I will order Dr. Michael Gershon's book about the enteric nervous system as this really interests me. We seem to come to a brick wall when expressing our theories because we lack the formal knowledge to go further. Other websites have "guest speakers" who are professionals and knowledgeable in a particular field and so are able to continue with the disby Dean - AFIBBERS FORUM
Maybe afibbers suffer from some sort of food or nutrient absorption (in the gut?) problem? That is why taking large doses of supplements is helping so many? And most of us have digestive troubles of some sort. Deanby Dean - AFIBBERS FORUM
Hi Jackie, I was hoping there would be a B. Subtilis supplement that would NOT make nattokinase and Vitamin K2 as the B. Subtilis in natto does. This would make it safe for afibbers to take. What I am really interested in is the strong ability of B. Subtilis to break down nutrients in the small intestine. I believe this to be the secret of my success with the B. Subtilis in my natto and NOT theby Dean - AFIBBERS FORUM
Hello to all, While researching natto food I have come across quite a few websites that discuss the outstanding results achieved when supplementing with Bascillus subtilis, the same (or very similar) bacteria that makes natto food. I must point out that there is some confusion with the naming of the bacteria in natto food. It was variously called B. Natto or B. Subtilis variety natto or plain Bby Dean - AFIBBERS FORUM
Hello all, I have noticed a few afibbers are using or experimenting with fermented foods of varying kinds in their quest to control their LAF. I, myself, have had outstanding success in putting AF and ectopics into remission by using natto food (fermented soya beans) on an almost daily basis. I am very interested in comparing any other fermented foods that have also been successful in reducing Lby Dean - AFIBBERS FORUM
Hi Todd, Another benefit of the natto food I am eating is the elimination of mercury in my body (and hopefully the ventricals!) .The bacillus natto (commonly called bacillus subtilis see below) oxidises the mercury The fate and impact of elemental mercury in closed bacterial cultures were examined. The quantity of elemental mercury oxidized by bacteria ranged from small amounts for Pseudomby Dean - AFIBBERS FORUM
